Description
If you've ever been to Cade's Cove in Smoky Mountain National Park, you know its a one-way loop road. Depending on the time of year and traffic, it can take as long as 2 hours or more to drive a mere 11 mile loop. Fortunately in every season, there are many delights that attract a photographer's eye. One of the first buildings you come across is this simple Methodist Church. This Cades Cove congregation began modestly meeting in a log structure with a fire pit and dirt floor. As change came rather slowly in the Smokies, it took sixty two years to get a newer more modern building. In 1902 carpenter/pastor, John D. McCampbell built the pretty white frame structure which became the Cades Cove Methodist church. The buildings two front door design was common in the 1800’s in the Smokies and elsewhere. Generally a two front door design allowed men to enter and sit on one side of the chapel and women and children on the other.
